*facepalm*

Once again:

| Von Neumann consulted for the Army's Ballistic Research Laboratory, most
| notably on the ENIAC project,[274] as a member of its Scientific Advisory
| Committee.[275] Although the single-memory, stored-program architecture is
| commonly called von Neumann architecture, the architecture was based on
| the work of J. Presper Eckert and John Mauchly, inventors of ENIAC and its
| successor, EDVAC. While consulting for the EDVAC project at the University
| of Pennsylvania, von Neumann wrote an incomplete "First Draft of a Report
| on the EDVAC". The paper, whose premature distribution nullified the
| patent claims of Eckert and Mauchly, described a computer, that stored
| both its data and its program in the same address space, unlike the
| earliest computers which stored their programs separately on paper tape or
| plugboards. This architecture became the basis of most modern computer
| designs.
